Day 2: The Next Big Pinterest Trend I could go on and on about ombré lips, which are still blowing up on Pinterest. I get the obsession -- it's a different way to wear lipstick and it's pretty. (Who doesn't love monochromatic colors blended together? I sure do.) Still, when ombré lips are too done they look kind of crazy. And when they're subtle, no one knows they're happening at all -- except the person who painstakingly applied her lipstick for 20 minutes.

So when I saw this ombré cheek (!) backstage at the Costello Tagliapietra fashion show yesterday, I knew I'd stumbled upon the next big Pinterest beauty craze -- sort of. If you're looking at the picture and thinking I've completely lost it, hear me out: This makeup is anything but bold. It's wearable, flattering and seriously pretty. Makeup artist Tina Turnbow (for Beauty.com) created the look using Jane Iredale In Touch Cream Blushes in Charisma and Clarity. She used the lighter color along the cheekbones and gradually blended it into the darker color on the apples of the cheeks. Alright, so it may not start a Pinterest revolution, but it's definitely how I'll be wearing my blush in spring.
